If you do not want to use PDF then I would suggest Epub, a fairly good, open e-book format,
you can install a good reader for it called Calibre on Ubuntu, Calibre has a useful conversion facility that can import chm files and then convert them to other formats epub included. epubs can be easily read on most smart phones and tablets as well.

KChmViewer is Ok. but I'd prefer the firefox addon [CHM Reader]. Not a good solution for my issue, as I want to get rid of those lousy chm files I already have to a better supported format. Pdf isn't good either. Options?
